At this moment, Jun Yiyao hurried forward and said, "Sikong Jing, I thought you weren't coming out."
There was a slight sense of relief on her face—the relief that came after worry. Jun Yibai's imperial order had been for them to set out immediately for Seal Sovereign Great Continent, yet Sikong Jing had suddenly returned to Desolate Sea Forbidden Land.
And once he went in, several days passed, leaving Jun Yiyao's heart in turmoil.
In response, Sikong Jing merely smiled and said, "How could I not? I'm a hero of the Seal Sovereign Empire, and I've already become an Eight-Seal Battle General. How could I possibly miss this victory banquet?"
After saying a few casual words, he looked toward Jun Yisui and his sister with a smile. "Let's go."
The two nodded with grave expressions...
After drawing deep breaths, they immediately brought out a Divine Shuttle Warship and set off with everyone who had to be taken along.
On the deck of the Divine Shuttle Ship...
Jun Yiyao looked at Sikong Jing again and softly asked, "You're not bringing your parents? Or the people of Cangyu Demon Sect?"
Shaking his head, Sikong Jing still wore a faint smile...
"My parents have only just returned home and can't bear to leave again so soon. As for the people of Cangyu Demon Sect... they aren't strong enough yet. If they come, they'll inevitably run into unnecessary trouble. Better not."
Gently biting her lip, Jun Yiyao pressed on, "You're a hero of the Seal Sovereign Empire, and I'll be protecting you..."
Before Jun Yiyao could finish, Sikong Jing cut her off directly. "We'll bring them next time, when there's a chance. This is the aftermath of war, after all. Cangyu Demon Sect still needs time to recover."
With that, he ignored Jun Yiyao
